Description

Status icon

Indicates that the particular category is not applicable for
the selected array.

appears

in the MP Blade category for the XP disk arrays,

as

the MP blade related metrics are applicable only for

the

XP7 disk arrays.

Further, the status icon

(Critical) takes precedence over the

(Major) and

(Normal) status

icons. For example, the Frontend statistics for a P9500 Disk Array shows that the usage of all
components is either at the normal level or almost reaching the defined threshold limits. However,
the overall usage status in the Frontend category still displays as

(Critical). It implies that there

might be one or more components in the Frontend category whose usage has crossed the defined
threshold limit for a particular metric during the specified threshold duration. Such components
need your immediate attention. For more information, see

“Dashboard statistics” (page 107)

.

The

overall usage status of an XP or an XP7 disk array in a category is based on the usage of

components

in that category. The usage data is collected only on those metrics whose threshold

limits

are set on the Threshold Setting screen.

For

example, assume that you have set the threshold limit for only the RG Seq Reads (IOPS) (Avg

Seq

Reads) metric in the Backend category. The status icon displayed in the XP/XP7Array Health

section

in the Backend category is based on the usage of individual components corresponding

to

the RG Seq Reads (IOPS) (Avg Seq Reads) metric during the specified threshold duration.
